War for Cybertron new Pre-Order character!

Kind of off-topic a little, for those that use the PSN, does it use a lot of data? The reason for my asking is that with the DSL plan I am on, I get 7 GB peak and 14 GB off-peak. Quite often, I'll get speed limited towards the end of the month. I'd love to play online, but not if that means sacrificing my internet usage.

Browsing the PSN is like the same as browsing the internet on your PC.

Playing games on the PSN however depends on which games you are playing online. Most games is about 20mb/hour. COD4 I heard is about 50mb/hour.

Some of the game demos on PSN will take a fair chunk of data allowance. You will know those games when you start downloading and it would show you how long/many gigs left to go.

PS Home can be quite heavy on data allowance as well. Vidzone (PS3 music app) takes roughly (maybe abit more) than Youtube.

If you are connecting to PSN, Uncharted 2 (once you have done ALL the updates (think it was around 150mb)), is smooth when you are in the game, however game-matching can take a couple of minutes.

7G/14G data allowance would be OK but if you are a heavy downloader, you may want to reconsider upgrading the plan to the next level.

Thanks for the info Saintly.

Yeah, I am a bit heavy on my usage considering most of the shows I watch are not broadcast in Australia however 20-50 MB per hour isn't as much as what I thought it would be.

There is always a chance that they will put the pre-order characters up as Paid DLC later, like SEGA did with Ryo's Forklift in All Stars Racing, or Soul Calibur which released the console exclusive characters on both systems a while after release.

I think Gutsman has it there, its just ordering from wherever nabs youa free skin. I hope so, coz I like demolishor, but I want the local version of the game for online-i-ness.

I hope it doesnt cost as much though. $8.45 for just Ryo in his forklift? What a ripoff!

Considering these characters are in the game already, just hidden, you will probably be able to get them regardless of whether you pre-ordered it when the code is inevitably uploaded to GameFAQs.

[Gutsman Heavy]

it wont work like that, it wont be a traditional code like old games used for cheats, it'll be a once off unique authentication code, similar to pre-paid phone credit and the like.

Thanks for the info Saintly.

+1 This is very useful to know. I'll be upgrading to a PS3 myself later this year when this game comes out.
